Mermaid is in a unique position to carry out front line research on a number of important areas relating to pregnancy and the postnatal period. Under guidance from our Advisory Board Mermaid intends to become a centre of excellence renowned for pioneering work in this area.

“Insufficient data exists to date on a whole range of important aspects of women’s health related to the post natal period. I look forward to playing a role in this important ongoing programme at Mermaid.”
